 5  Sinus infectin Like any antibiotics read the directions you must eat or take with milk.its a very powerful drug but it saved my life 2 years ago when I had pneumonia. I would rather have a little case of c- diff than be 6 feet under. It's the best antibiotic for sinus infections. M 47 10 days

 2  Sinus Infection Anxious feelings across chest feeling like I couldn't take a full breath. Slight burning in upper respiratory system. diarrhoea from day one. I decided to stop taking it and ask for something else when I can get to the doctor. I told the urgent care nurse who prescribed it to me that it was making me feel sick and she said my symptoms were vague and she was unwilling to do anything about it... If this makes so many people feel sick why do they still prescribe it??? M 3 days

 3  Acute sinus infection Gas, jittery feeling after about day 5 along with heart discomfort including bounding, tightness and "full" feeling around heart. I have a history of heart issues and thought this antibiotic was safe. Not so. It did help clear up my massive sinus iinfection after 3 days. However, I t will take me several days to recover with these heart symptoms. F 38 8 days

 3  sinus infection headache, bright lights hurt and swollen lower legs. I have had it before and yes, it's a witch of a medicine. But like the last time, 20 years ago, when I had a sinus infection, I did not realize it. It comes on so slowly without a head cold that I just think my allergies are acting up. Sinusitis and allergic rhinitis are listed first under why this medicine is prescribed. There is a line on the pill, so it's OK to cut it. It's huge. I eat like a horse and take the medicine between bites. That way the food and pill are there together. I've had no stomach issues as yet. This AM I woke with a horrible headache. I drank lots of coffee to make the small vessels in the head shrink. This RX has loads of potassium in it which is bound to affect body fluid. My legs are swollen from my knees to my toes. I will go down to a pill a day and see how it goes. I will also increase my water intake. My sinuses are already much better, but I'm going to try and stick it out for at least 7 days. Ask a gastro doc, but I'm pretty sure that taking this medicine with yogurt or probiotics is starting a war in your intestines. You might want to finish it before you do that. Good luck to all on this RX. And remember, like the pharmacist says, doctors don't know everything. It's your body. You know it better than they do. F 63 2 days

 1  Ear infection Vertigo and numbness of face. I still have both though Dramomine helps with the Vertigo. I couldn't even finish taking my dosage. I stopped after 5 days. I also could barely talk or think but still went to work anyway hoping I would get better. Vertigo is not fun on a public bus!! I will NEVER take this again. I took it back in March of 2014 and still have numbness of the face and vertigo. If I would have known about this site, I would have rated it sooner. F 44 10 days

 3  ear infection severe fatigue/tiredness, nausea, muscle weakness, difficulty breathing, chest pain, frequent urination, anxiety, tachycardia and limb pain, went to the ER thinking I had a heart attack It does a good job of knocking out the infection, but all the possible severe side effects make it highly likely that someone would stop taking the prescription. A yeast probiotic (like Florastor) taken two hours before and a bacteria probiotic (like acidophilus) taken two hours after can help immensely to avoid diarrhea and other serious GI problems. Taking a magnesium supplement can help immensely with the other severe side effects. Magnesium may help resolve twitches, cramps, muscle tension, muscle soreness, including back aches, neck pain, tension headaches and jaw joint (or TMJ) dysfunction, chest pain, difficulty breathing, constipation; urinary spasms; menstrual cramps; difficulty swallowing, photophobia, loud noise sensitivity, insomnia, hyperactivity and restlessness with constant movement, panic attacks, agoraphobia, premenstrual irritability, numbness, tingling, other abnormal sensations, palpitations, heart arrhythmias, angina due to spasms of the coronary arteries, high blood pressure and mitral valve prolapse, and anxiety.

 1  Sinusitus Blurred vision one hour or so after taking medication. Dark colored --brownish orange urine after 6th dose. Occasional slight light headiness. Pharmacist insert on medication stated to call dr. if rare but serious side effect of dark urine occurs. Very upset when found out can cause renal failure.( Sister has been on dialysis for 4 yrs due to medications) Drinking large amounts of water cleared urine, however it seems as soon as I do not drink large amounts it becomes dark again. Dr. wanted to see me last night, cancelled since urine initially cleared. Spend $100.00 for the dr. to tell me to drink fluids? F 60 3 days

 4  Strep and lower respiratory Infecti Headaches, dizziness and constipation some heart racing Overall the medicine has taken away my strep throat and I am able yo swallow again. My pharmacist was very helpful and I'm grateful to her recommendations . I took my doses with an align probiotics. These cost 28.00 for a box that will last a while but worth it to avoid upsetting stomach. I didn't experience loose bowel. I took each pill with food. In middle of night I would eat bread to help soak the pill. I took ibuprofen for headache. Not a bad medicine and it works quickly but u do do have to take with food(no exceptions) n probiotics F 52 4 days

 4  Sinus Infection Headache and neck ache on day 2 and 3 of taking meds, and became gassy. On the 5th day, I only took 1 pill a day and that seemed to help allevaiate the headache and neck ache. I also increased my fluid intake while on this antibiotic. Make sure you eat right before you take this medicine, so you don't get an upset stomach. If I'm ever prescribed this antibiotic again, I will ask doctor for a lower dosage for 2 pills a day, or the 875mg only once a day. F 37 10 days

 1  hair follicle infection Diarrhea so bad for 3 days was going 6 times a day, completely liquid! Considering I suffer from constipation this is a big deal. Most horrible headache, side affects are worse than the reason you started taking them so no point in taking them, this product should be removed from shelves and never sold to anyone. F 17 7 days

 1  Throat/Tonsil infection Diarrhea, resulting in a "c diff" infection ~4 days after I finished taking it. Would highly recommend asking your doctor for something else. The "c diff" infection that resulted from taking this was worse than the initial infection that it was supposed to cure. The doctor that I saw for the c diff infection said he tries to avoid Augmentin because "It gives everyone diarrhea". If you have to use it, take the MAXIMUM recommended dosage of probiotics to try and protect against intestinal infections, and continue taking them for a while after you finish Augmentin.
